So far, very well! The technology behind Rouxbe’s platform is user-friendly, seamless and well designed. The construction of the platform allows you to navigate to and digest each piece of it easily to make learning as approachable as possible. The course is set up into units, and each unit contains smaller lessons, while each lesson is comprised of tasks. A task can simply involve reading information, visual learning, quizzes or watching a video, while others require an action like preparing a dish or learning a hands-on technique. So far for me, opening each task has been kind of like unwrapping a mystery package: it’s always fun to see what’s inside! Some of my “action” tasks to date have included “resetting” my kitchen space, which has involved cleaning out and reorganizing my kitchen (I had no idea how disorganized it was), basic knife skills (I finally know how to slice and dice an onion correctly!) and sampling and describing the taste of selected food (which is harder than it sounds).

If you’d like to see what I’m up to at Rouxbe in between my Olives for Dinner posts, follow me on Instagram! I’ll be documenting some of the tasks there as I proceed through the course.

But if you are ready to learn how to become a better cook, take a positive step towards making healthier food choices or hone your already fabulous plant-based cooking skills, now’s the time to sign up! Rouxbe is offering $300 off full tuition for their May 7 seating between now and March 10. Sign up here or click on the picture below for more information.

And stay tuned for another update some time in March—I can’t wait to share with you some of the things I’ve been up to at Rouxbe in the coming month!
